§ 38. Mr. STANIERasked the Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture (Ireland), whether he can give the procedure under which pedigree stock can be imported into Ireland from England?
§ Mr. T. W. RUSSELL (Vice-President of the Department of Agriculture, Ireland)In existing circumstances pedigree stock can be imported into Ireland from England under the authority of a permit from my Department. Applicants for permits are required to furnish certain particulars, and to supply a declaration and a certificate on prescribed forms. If these are deemed satisfactory when received a permit available for a specified period (usually ten days) may then issue.
§ Mr. STANIERCan ordinary store cattle come in in the same way?
§ Mr. RUSSELLI am not prepared to answer that question at the present moment.
